Omega Centauri & PGC 47003 galaxy (140m LY) and and PGC 47340 (150m LY?)

Omega Centauri & PGC47003 and PGC46583 (?). Capture between sunset and 30 mins after moonrise. Clouds came through so only 27 of my 32 subs were usable. Some good subtle colours coming through of this magnificient object. If my location is correct, the dim galaxy in center on far left is PGC 47003 galaxy (140 million LY, visual mag 13.2) and there appears to be another to the right & above the Omega Centauri (PGC47340 at 150 million LY?, visual mag 13+?).

Thanks to Rod in the comments below for the option to have the advanced plate solve identify the pgc objects on-screen.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
